THE WAR IS OVER
To all intents and purposes the
war is over. While the terms of
the armistice offered the Germans,
on their application, by the allies,
and presented to the German arm­
istice delegates last Friday by
Marshal E^och, have not been affi
cially announced, it has been posi­
tively stated that they are' such
as to make a renewal of hostili­
ties on the part of Germany im­
possible. Tli'eV amount, in short,
to UNCONDITIONAL SUR­
RENDER, by the greatest of all
military monarchies, brought to
its knees by the allied democratic
powers of the world. Germany,
the last of the central powers to
yieldr already is so torn, by intern­
al dissehjsibns that, even were it
not a Condition of the armistice
that allied troops occupy strat­
egic points, a resumption of hos­
tilities would be impossible.
It is .presumed that the allies

NO INTIMATION OF CIRCUMSTANCES
There was no intimation as to the circumstance under which the ar­
mistice was signed, but inasmuch as the courier did not reach the Ger­
man headquarters until 10 o'clock yesterday morning, French time, it
was generally believed the German delegates inside the French lines had
been consumed by the courier in reaching the meeting place. It was re­
garded possible the decision had been made in Germany and instruc­
tions transmitted then by the new German government.
DECISION COMES ON DOT
Germany had until 11 o'clock this morning French time 6 o'clock
Washington time, to accept. So hostilities will end at the hour set by
Marshal Foch for a decision as to peace or war.
The momentous news that the armistice had been signed was tele­
phoned to the White House a few minutes before it Was given to the
newspaper correspondents.
